Learning outcomes
This course starts from case studies to raise students’ awareness of ethical assumptions implied by the methods of economic analysis, management studies, policy analysis, quantitative methods. The approach is participatory and multidisciplinary and leveradges upon the ethical issues behind the case. Students will be presented with real case studies to be analyzed and assessed from multiple perspectives and according to different methodological approaches. This will convey the concept of teamwork and knowledge complementarity in our field. Students with different background will realize the relevance of their own knowledge and the complementarity to the knowledge of their peers. Students will be encouraged to become active rather than passive learners and will learn the basis on how to work on projects related to different disciplines and approaches.
